LYRICS:
(1)
mana, tumi sannyasi sajite
keno cao?
bahirer saja jata, antarete
phanki tata,
dambha puji' sarira nacao
(2)
amar bacana dharo, antara
bisuddha koro,
krsnamrta sada koro pana
jibana sahaje jay, bhakti-badha nahi pay,
tadupaya koroho sandhana
(3)
anayase jaha pao, tahe
tusta hoye jao,
arambare na koro prayas

paro he bhai,
sita-bastra kantha bahirbas

harer badale dharo mala
eirupe asa-pas, sukhadir kubilas,
kharbi charo samsarer jvala

sadhu krpa tomar sambal
(7)
baisnaber paricoy, abasyaka nahi hoy,
arambare kabhu nahi jao
binoder nebedana, radha-krsna-guna-gana,
phukari' phukari' sada gao
TRANSLATION
1)
My dear mind, why do you want to disguise yourself as a sannyasi?
As much as you decorate yourself externally with this garb, to that same degree
you deceive yourself internally with this hoax. Worshiping your own false
pride, your simply make a show of your material body by artificially accepting
the dress of the renounced order.
2)
Now please try to understand my advice on how to become a true sannyasi. Just make your heart completely pure, and
constantly drink the nectar of Krsna consciousness.
Search for that life-style which allows your spiritual life to be executed
easily and automatically, free from any distracting obstacles to pure devotion.
3)
Just be satisfied with whatever you get easily, and never endeavor for any type
of artificial pomp and grandeur. Even if you do not have proper clothes to
wear, just wear a loin-cloth, dear brother! And in cold weather you can simply
wear an old torn quilt.
4)
There is no need for fancy sandalwood pulp scented with perfume, my dear brother, you can use some ordinary earth or clay to mark
your forehead with tilaka. Your fancy necklaces can
be exchanged for a nice tulasi mala.
Living like this in such a simple state of mind, all the nonsense material
arrangements for so-called happiness will diminish, and you will thus be able
to escape from the burning fever of materialistic existence.
5)
In reality it is the strict rule of renunciation that is the wealth of the sannyasa asrama. By following
this rule, one would certainly never look forward to receiving respect from
others. Beware, dear brother! Deliverance from this material world is not
possible for one who wants to get such respect by taking sannyasa.
Instead, he gets ensnared in mundane existence due to constantly maintaining
the conceited pride of subtle profit, adoration and distinction.
6)
You are actually an eternal servant of Lord Caitanya,
and your real interest as such, is devotion to Hari.
What other wonderful thing could you get from the external form of the sannyasa asrama? Casting all
false prestige to a far distant place, just make your residence in the
transcendentally peaceful realm, beyond the varnasrama-dharma
system and just live on the mercy of the Rupanuga Vaisnavas as your only life-giving
substance.
7)
It is actually not even necessary to introduce oneself a Vaisnava,
and once should never try to make a show of external pomp and grandeur, Bhaktivinoda’s humble submission to you is that you should
constantly sing songs about the glorious qualities of Radha
and Krsna at the top of your lungs.
